Avoid throwing error on 404 (and return undefined)?

[ghost]

Hi,

I am calling some remote API to essentially get details related to some entity. However, that remote API may just not have any details registered and then returns a 404 as per HTTP standards.

What I actually want is to have this case handled gracefully (without throwing any error internally), so that I can - at best just use something like this:

const client = got.extend(...);

const data = client.get(`accounts/${user_id}/profile`).json()
if (data !== undefined) {
  // ...do something with the details...
}

Is that possible (without running into the handlers issue #2196 )?
